I think Windsor needs to take a lesson from our friends across the river. There are dozens of bike parks within a hours drive of Windsor. All are maintained by various groups of dedicated volunteers. They are very well kept and enjoyed by thousands of riders.

Until recently, Windsor had the same type of trail system at zero cost to the taxpayers in Black Oak Heritage Park. I don’t know why Windsor thinks they need to take what little space we had and ruin it.

I have heard Windsor has a half million dollars to spend. What can the city do with a half million? They will do studies for years and put in an asphalt trial that nobody wants to ride on. The city is best off to save their money and leave its citizen alone. Or better yet, take that money and use it to work on removing some of those signs on the road that are everywhere. I am referring to ‘bike lane ends here.’
